Hi,
We are living crash problems with different graphics cards on multiple computers in accelerated views (drawing or navigating) since a while. There are many users and most of them are living similar problems. We are using View 2 in Smooth Rendering mode. AECOsim crashes sometimes when trying to display View 2 (accelerated view). Mostly AECOsim crashes, sometimes you see black screen, sometimes lines are broken, sometimes half of the view is displayed.
We tried followings;
1. Install the latest graphics driver from video card's manufacturer's site.
2. Install the latest certified driver from computer's manufacturer's site.
3. Optimize graphics card's settings using steps below;

4. Set QV_D3DVERSION environment variable to 11, 10, 9.

5. At last, if we still have problem, set QV_D3DVERSION to 0 which means it uses software graphics which is very slow.
We also reviewed exception logs and mostly there are the same error and material_sendToQv() MDL function fails.
Is there any other option that solve this problem completely?
As an example, we are getting below errors on a computer that has graphics card Radeon 530. HP certified and Windows 10 update 1803 compatible graphics card driver is installed. Below are faults from Event Viewer. Fault modules are qvision.dll, rendlib.dll, ustation.dll.

Normally, we are using View 2 in Smooth display style. If you open DGN file, we are getting the exception. Then we click Ignore and set display style of View 2 to Wireframe and exit ABD v8i SS5. Next time, when you open DGN file it is opened properly.
Why do we need this?
How can we do that in MDL?
Kind regards,

Hi, It could be that some elements in the model are causing a crash when displaying smooth, does the same behaviour occur in current versions? SS5 is no longer officially supported.
Questions about MDL are best asked in the Developers and Programming Forum.

Hi Marc,
Marc Thomas said:It could be that some elements in the model are causing a crash when displaying smooth
You are right some elements may cause crash. But in this case when change smooth mode to wireframe, the problem is solved.

I understand but I couldn't have time to test it.
